Billi Mucklow Enjoys ‘Best Summer Yet’ on Family Holiday Amid Ex Andy Carroll’s Relationship Drama with Lou Teasdale

Billi Mucklow Celebrates "Best Summer Yet" Amid Ex Andy Carroll’s Relationship Drama

Billi Mucklow, 37, shared a joyful update from her family holiday, calling it the “best summer yet” amid her ex-husband Andy Carroll’s turbulent romance with makeup artist Lou Teasdale. The former The Only Way Is Essex star posted sun-soaked photos on Instagram, featuring her three children—Arlo, Wolf, and Marvel Mae—and Andy’s two older kids from a previous relationship, Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14. She credited her mother, Paula, for the memorable trip, writing, “My superwoman @paulamucklow thanks for the best summer ever! I’ve learnt from the best there is.”

Billi and Andy, 36, divorced last year after two years of marriage. The ex-Premier League footballer swiftly moved on with Lou, 41, but their relationship recently faced public turmoil. Reports initially claimed Andy ended things over Lou’s “high-maintenance” behavior, but the Daily Mail revealed it was Lou who initiated the split after heated arguments. Days later, however, the couple reconciled, with Andy vowing to reduce alcohol consumption to salvage their bond.

Andy Carroll and Lou Teasdale briefly split before reconciling.

Andy confirmed their reunion by sharing a cozy cinema date photo, captioning it with a pizza emoji. He admitted to The Sun that their clashes often stemmed from his drinking habits, as Lou has been teetotal for 14 years. “Things have been difficult… We’re better off together and trying to work through our difficulties,” he said, referencing his ongoing divorce from Billi.

The pair’s rocky romance escalated during a trip to Mykonos, where police were twice called to intervene. A restaurant worker recounted Andy’s “drunken” outburst, prompting officers to calm the situation. Hours later, hotel staff reported room damage, though Andy wasn’t arrested. Lou reportedly left to stay elsewhere, while Andy flew to Ibiza in a failed bid to win her back.

A source revealed Lou was “upset” by the drama and initially sought privacy, but Andy’s social media purge—unfollowing her and deleting photos—forced the split into the spotlight. Despite his efforts to reconcile, Lou remained focused on her family. The couple has since refollowed each other and reposted loved-up snaps.

Meanwhile, Billi has prioritized family time, showcasing her “revenge body” and bonding with her children. Her holiday posts contrast sharply with Andy’s chaotic summer, highlighting her resilience post-divorce.

As Andy navigates his return to UK football with Dagenham & Redbridge, both he and Billi are charting new paths—with co-parenting and personal growth at the forefront.
